Tropical Storm Melissa is currently impacting the Caribbean Sea islands, presenting risks of landslides and significant flooding. Authorities have advised residents in flood-prone regions to evacuate to higher ground and seek shelter.

Jamaica's eastern region is expected to experience rainfall of up to 12 inches (300mm). Similar rainfall levels are anticipated in southern Haiti and the southern Dominican Republic through Saturday, with possibilities of localized heavier rainfall depending on the storm's trajectory. Additional heavy rainfall is forecast for western Jamaica, southern Hispaniola, Aruba, and Puerto Rico.

As of late Wednesday, the storm exhibited maximum sustained winds of 50mph (85km/h) and was moving west at 2mph (4km/h), as reported by the US National Hurricane Center (NHC) in Miami. The storm's center is located approximately 335 miles (535km) south-southwest of Port-au-Prince, Haiti, and 295 miles (475km) south-southeast of Kingston, Jamaica.

The NHC predicts potential strengthening of the storm over the coming days, with the possibility of it developing into a hurricane by Friday and a major hurricane by late weekend. The Dominican Republic has already experienced traffic disruptions and sports event cancellations due to heavy rains.

Melissa represents the 13th named storm of the current Atlantic hurricane season and is the first to form in the Caribbean this year. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has forecasted an above-normal hurricane season, with expectations of 13 to 18 named storms, 5 to 9 of which could become hurricanes, including 2 to 5 major hurricanes featuring winds of 111mph or greater.
